Will 'The Simpsons' murder Krusty the Clown?

Producers said last year it was likely a major character may soon be killed off.

The Hollywood Reporter said that executive producer Al Jean offered a major hint Sunday during a panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

"(The episode) is called 'A Clown in the Dumps'," he said, reportedly to gasps from the audience.

Jean said the identity of the soon-to-exit character was "obvious" and that the actor who plays the character has won an Emmy. That sums up Dan Castellaneta, who voices the iconic nasty, boozing clown.
